Introduction: At present, COPD is known to be a systemic disease resulting from generalized inflammation which affects the function of many organs. Generalized inflammation is recognized from increased serum concentration of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of inflammatory process on the respiratory impairment in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Material and methods: A group of 60 stable COPD patients (GOLD stages I-IV) participated in the study. Inclusion criteria were: confirmed diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, clinical stable state, established treatment which had not been changed for at least 3 months prior to the study or in the course of...
